details

While some debate the merits of seeing the glass half empty or half full, we avoid the conundrum altogether by always keeping a glass-topping supply of wine handy at Wise Villa Winery:

• $20 ($40 value) for a 30- to 60-minute winery tour and tasting for two
• Including two souvenir glasses
• Plus tasty nibbles of cheese and chocolate

Award-Winning Vino
Visit this Lincoln winery and estate vineyard -- voted #3 on KCRA's A-List and #1 in Placer County -- on Wednesday through Sunday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. to find a sunny tasting room and views of the estate vineyards, the Sutter Buttes, and the Sierra Foothills. You'll learn about the on-site grape-growing and winemaking processes, and be treated to up to nine wine tastings -- including sips of Wise Villa's "Blanc De Noir" Pinot Noir, which took home a gold medal at the Orange County Fair. And with 53 total medals awarded in the last two years -- including nine golds and 18 silvers -- this lauded winery is unrivaled.
